Patent CA-2455579-A1 (CA)
Title: Composite reinforced gas transport module
Inventor: FAWLEY NORMAN C
IPC: F17C1/06
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: A system is disclosed for the manufacture and use of a composite reinforced gas transport module ("GTM"). A metal shell of the system is wrapped circumferentially with a composite reinforcement, the composite reinforcement is post cured and the metal shell is then pressurized beyond the yield point of its material to load the composite reinforcement. The system is then brought to ambient temperature. The expansion deformation of the metal shell due to pressurization beyond the yield point results in a loading of the metal shell by the cured composite reinforcement at ambient temperature. Thus, a negative hoop stress condition is created in the metal shell at ambient to reduce the hoop stresses created during subsequent pressured operation.

Title: System and method for transferring information in optical fiber
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: The present invention tries to achieve a large leap in information transfer by enabling putting much more fiber (111, 112) per cable (110), such as, for exemple even 1,000 or 10,000 times more than what is being done today. The disclosed invention solves various mechanical, optical and electronic problems that stem from trying to cram so many fibers (111, 112) into one cable (110). One of the most important features is using multi-fiber flexible flat jackets (1221) that can move freely within the cable's pipe, preferably with the pipe divided into at least two cells so that it can bend only in the desired direction and have maximum structural strength. Another important feature is various methods for optimizing the efficiency of amplifying multiple fibers simultaneously.

Title: Qam multiresolution system with automatic repeat request for each data stream
Inventor: BASHEM BASSAM M
IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: By transmitting data simultaneously at different modulation amplitudes and/or using different code strengths, terminals having different carrier to noise ratios (4, 6, 8) are able to decode the different amplitude levels with varying degrees of success. This allows distant terminals (8) to receive low data rate transmissions at high modulation levels or code rates while nearer terminals (4) can use additional capacity in the transmission by receiving lower level modulation signals or code rates. In this way, distant terminals (8) do not degrade overall network performance. By arranging for terminals to acknowledge receipt of data, re-transmission at different modulation levels or code rates may be carried out by the base station (BASE) in order to improve performance in the presence of noise without a priori knowledge of the carrier to noise ratio for a particular terminal.

Title: Method for quantitative video-microscopy and associated system and computer software program product
Inventor: MARCELPOIL RAPHAEL
IPC: G06V10/56
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: A method of determining an amount of at least one molecular species in a sample from an image of the sample captured by an image acquisition device is provided, each molecular species being indicated by a dye. A dye space representation of a plurality of dyes is formed by orthogonally adding the correspondence tables of the dyes, each correspondence table having a plurality of normalized RGB triplets and incrementally extending from 0% to 100% transmittance. The dye space representation has one dimension for each dye and provides a reference model for a combination of the plurality of dyes.  Each pixel of an image of the sample stained with the combination of the plurality of dyes is compared to the reference model, each pixel having a color defined by an RGB triplet, so as to determine an optimal combination of normalized RGB triplets from the respective correspondence tables of the dyes producing the color of the respective pixel. An artificial image of the sample is then formed from the normalized RGB triplets for each dye as determined from the optimal combination. The artificial image thereby indicates a distribution of the respective dye over the sample image and facilitates determination of the amount of the corresponding molecular species. Associated methods, systems, and computer software program products are also provided.
